Operation of the Machine and Terms Used in This Manual This machine makes effective use of memory in order to perform print operations efficiently. For example, as soon as the machine has scanned the original that you want to copy, it can immediately scan the next person s original. You can also print from this machine, using a function other than the Copy function. In this machine, these operations take place in a complex way, so that not only copies, but also various kinds of prints may sometimes have to wait their turn before they can be output. To avoid confusion when reading this manual, the term printing used throughout this manual is defined as set out below. There are some cases in which the scanning of an original when making a copy, and the process of making a print, are described separately. Printing Outputting a copy, outputting data stored in a mail box, or outputting data sent from a personal computer to the machine. x Operation of the Machine and Terms Used in This Manual

Before You Start Using the Machine This chapter describes how to set up the printing environment from the touch panel display. 1 CHAPTER Menu Functions........................................................1-2 What Are Menu Functions?.....................................................1-2 Accessing the Menus.........................................................1-3 Using the Printer Settings Menu...........................................1-5 Using the Report Settings Menu...........................................1-8 1-1

Menu Functions 1 This chapter describes the menu functions and how to access them with the touch panel display. Before You Start Using the Machine What Are Menu Functions? The machine lets you specify the number of copies, the paper size, etc., to use when it receives a print job. Normally, however, these types of settings are specified by the application sending the print job, or by the printer driver. However, you can specify many other settings other than the number of copies, the paper size, etc., which affect the printer function of the machine. These include some settings that cannot be specified from an application or the printer driver. These settings are referred to as "Menu Functions." The menu functions are set using the keys on the touch panel display and are grouped together depending on the type of settings performed. This makes them easy to set. NOTE The contents of the Printer Settings are stored in the nonvolatile memory of the machine. This means that the settings are stored even if the power to the machine is switched off - the settings will still be available when the power is switched on again. Understanding the Printer Settings Priorities When the same menu function setting can be specified by using the keys on the machine, or by specifying the setting in an application or the printer driver, the setting from the application or printer driver has priority. These settings will override the settings made on the machine. High Setting priority Low Application Printer driver Touch panel display The Windows printer driver is included on the CD-ROM provided with the machine. For instructions on installing the printer driver, see the Setup Guide. 1-2 Menu Functions

Accessing the Menus To access the printer related menu functions, display the Printer Settings screen on the touch panel display and use the keys on the display to specify the settings. IMPORTANT You can access menus and modify settings while print jobs are waiting in the queue. However, any new settings will only affect print jobs sent to the queue after making the modifications. 1 Additional Functions Press. Reset Guide?

Auto Continue On, Off Job Securing Time You can set whether or not this function is used automatically to temporarily clear an error and continue printing (Error skip) when an error occurs. When [Off] has been selected, you must use the touch panel display to perform an error skip. When [On] has been selected, an error skip is performed automatically. NOTE To perform an error skip, press [Print] on the System Monitor screen, select the job where the error has occurred, then press [Details] and [Error Skip]. Error skip only temporarily clears an error, so there is the possibility that the data may not be printed correctly. For information on types of errors that can be temporarily cleared with Auto Continue, see You cannot print the last page, on p. 5-. When Auto Continue has been set to [On], errors will be automatically skipped (this is valid even if multiple errors have occurred). 1 hour, 2 hours, 3 hours, hours, 12 hours, 24 hours When a secured print job is sent to the machine, it is stored on the machine s hard disk, and a password must be entered before the job can be printed. This setting specifies how long the job will be stored before it is automatically canceled. NOTE Even if the time period specified with this setting has not elapsed, the print job data will be deleted if the main power to the machine is switched off. The password is set from the printer driver. 3 Printer Settings Menu Functions and Operation Settings Menu 3-11

3 Printer Settings Menu Functions and Operation Timeout Print After Completing RIP Timeout (5-15 - 300 s), Off When the machine is set to switch between printer modes, the machine detects the control commands and starts printing in the appropriate mode. After all the data has been received and the end of the data is detected, the print mode stops. This processing of print data is called a job. If the data for a job does not end, the machine will not start the next job even if it receives other print commands. In cases like this, use the Timeout setting to force jobs to finish if no data is received during the set period of time. When Timeout is On, if print data is still remaining in the machine because of being unable to send a form feed command, the paper can be fed automatically. When the set time is finished, the job will automatically be finished. When Timeout is Off, jobs will not end automatically. On, Off IMPORTANT When this function is set so that a job will timeout, the machine may end a print job before all the data has been received if it takes a long time for the PC to send the data. If this occurs, adjust the length of the Timeout setting. If [Off] is selected, you will not be able to make copies until print jobs that use the staple sort, punch, and booklet settings have been completed. If this setting is set to more than 0 seconds, the machine will cancel a job, due to a timeout, if it does not receive an end-of-job command causing the job not to print correctly. This setting specifies the timeout setting for jobs received from the parallel port interface. If [Off] is selected the machine will not be able to receive print jobs from the network until jobs received from the parallel port interface have been completed. NOTE When a job is being processed, the Processing/Data lamp on the control panel lights. Sets whether to use the Print after completing RIP function or not. If Print after completing RIP is selected, the first page is printed after all the pages in the job have been processed. Although it may take longer to print the first page, the remaining pages in the job will be printed more quickly. This is useful when several people are using the machine since the printing time for a print job is reduced, or when using the other functions, such as the Copy function. 3-12 Settings Menu

Some Basic Facts About Fonts This section summarises some of the basic facts you should know about fonts. What Is a Font? A font is a collection of letters and symbols used when printing a document. In general, a group of letters and symbols sharing a common design is referred to as a font. A font consists of the letters A to Z in both upper and lowercase, digits, and symbols. The design that distinguishes one font from another is referred to as a typeface. Each font has a typeface name, such as Courier, CG Times, Letter Gothic, etc. Appendix Attributes of Fonts Typeface All fonts share some common characteristics, which are called attributes. The typeface is one such attribute. The letters and symbols that are actually printed are determined by the values of a collection of these attributes. The design of the letters (for example, Courier, CG Times, Letter, or Gothic). Stroke weight Style Point size Pitch (cpi) Character width (Fix/PS) The thickness of the lines with which the letters are drawn (e.g. bold, medium, or light). Whether the letters are drawn straight or at an angle (e.g. upright or italic). Height of the letters (e.g. 10 point or 5 point). Number of characters that are printed in one inch (e.g. 10 cpi, 12 cpi, or Scale). Indicates whether the character width is set to Fixed or Proportional. Defaults Orientation Orientation of the characters on a page ( Portrait or Landscape ). Symbol set The rule that defines the correspondence between the character codes coming from the host computer, and the letter forms that appear on the page (for example, Roman-8). -2 Some Basic Facts About Fonts

Typeface Typeface refers to the design of the characters and symbols. The following figure shows an example of some typefaces. Typeface Courier Times Helvetica ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ Stroke Weight Stroke weight refers to the thickness of the print. There are light, medium, and bold stroke weights. The printer function has medium and bold fonts available. The figure below shows an example of medium and bold printing. Stroke weight Appendix Some Basic Facts About Fonts -3

Style Style refers to the shape of the characters. The printer function can print in two styles: upright and italic. With some fonts like Letter Gothic, the term Oblique is used in the same manner as italics. Style Point size Point size refers to the height of the character. Point size is measured in points. One inch is divided into 72 points and 1 point is 1/72 of an inch (about 0.35 mm). The printer function has bit-mapped fonts and scalable fonts available. The bit-mapped fonts are fixed in size, but the scalable fonts are not fixed in size. Scalable fonts are freely scalable to any size you wish in 0.1 point increments. The following figure shows an example of various point sizes.

Pitch (cpi) Pitch refers to the number of characters that are printed in one inch. The unit is cpi (characters per inch). As the number of characters per inch increases, the space between characters decreases; as the cpi decreases, the space between characters increases. Pitch Character Width (Fix and PS) Each character has a different width from all the other characters in a font at a given point size. For example, W is a wider letter than I. There are two ways to go about printing letters of different widths: you can print all letters with the same spacing, regardless of their actual width; or you can change the spacing between letters to accommodate these different widths. Printing all letters with the same spacing is called Fixed spacing, while changing the spacing to accommodate different letter widths is called Proportional spacing. Appendix Because the Fixed spacing method prints all letters with the same spacing, the number of characters which will fit into a given length is a fixed quantity which can be specified. If the characters are printed with Proportional spacing, then the number of characters that will fit into an inch varies depending on the letters printed. Some Basic Facts About Fonts -5

Fixed spacing and Proportional spacing Proportional spacing Fixed spacing Orientation Orientation refers to the direction of printing. The printer function can print using two different paper orientations: portrait and landscape. With portrait orientation, text is printed across the width of the paper (short edge), and with landscape orientation, text is printed across the length of the paper (long edge). Orientation Appendix Portrait Landscape - Some Basic Facts About Fonts

Symbol Set When you print the letter A, the host computer sends a code corresponding to A (hexadecimal 41 is an example of this) to the machine. This code is referred to as the character code. The machine stores an internal representation of each character, and selects from among these character patterns the pattern corresponding to the received code. In this case, the machine searches for the pattern for A, and prints it. The process by which letters are printed Computer Machine Character patterns Appendix The machine uses a fixed rule to decide which letter or symbol corresponds to the character code sent from the host computer. For example, the letter A is printed for the hexadecimal code 41. The rule which determines the correspondence between character codes and printed letter is called the symbol set.

Bit-mapped Fonts and Scalable Fonts There are two types of fonts available, and these fonts are distinguished by the type of data from which they are formed. Bit-mapped fonts Scalable fonts Bit-mapped Fonts Each character of bit-mapped fonts are composed of grid of small dots and stored in the machine s memory in dot matrix. Bit-mapped fonts are fixed in size and specified by the characteristics called attributes, such as typeface, stroke weight, style and so on. Various types of bit mapped fonts are produced by the combination of these attributes. Bit-mapped fonts Appendix -8 Some Basic Facts About Fonts

Scalable Fonts With scalable fonts, characters are freely enlarged or compressed from the one point to any size you wish in 0.1 point increments. Scalable fonts Appendix Some Basic Facts About Fonts -9

Standard Scalable Fonts (PCL) With scalable fonts, characters are freely enlarged or compressed from one point to any size you wish in 0.1 point increments. (The maximum range of scaling depends on the size of the memory installed in the machine and the size of the paper used.) The following scalable typefaces are included with the machine.
